Forfeiting Our Joy

Why is it that we chose to give up all that we have today for the possibility of not having it tomorrow? Fear and worry is robbing us of God’s gifts of grace. It is in the now that all things truly exist. We must relish in what we have in this instant.

Are we sinning by worrying and anticipating loss rather than rejoicing and believing in gain? Many of us are missing the chance to enjoy the experience of All that there Is. We think things like “She is so wonderful. I love being with her. What if she leaves me?” We are missing the chance to freely enjoy All that we have right now. As we contemplate, “We have all this money. How wonderful, but how long will it last?” we miss the chance to enjoy All that there Is. Remember, be in the now and relish in all the Creator has allowed you to create. Don’t lose by forfeit! If you don’t play you can’t win.

So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. -Matthew 6:34 (Amplified Bible)
